When one quarter of a number is subtracted from one third of the number, the result is 7

1 answer:

5 0

The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7

We can put it together:
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7 /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84

The number you are looking for is 84.

This monitor has a diagonal length of 19 inches and an aspect ratio of 5:4. What are the width and height of the monitor? Round

nasty-shy [4]

<em>Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch the Witdth of the monitor is 14.8 inches while the Height of the monitor is 11.9 inches.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The aspect ratio is defined as:

<em>"The proportional relationship between the width and height of an image"</em>

It is usually expressed in a mathematical language as:

$x:y \\ \\ x: \ Width \\ \\ y: \ Height$

So, it is true that:

$x:y=5:4 \\ \\ or: \\ \\ \frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ \therefore x=\frac{5y}{4}$

In this case, we know that the monitor has a diagonal length (D):

$D=19in$

So, by Pythagorean theorem:

$D^2=361 \\ \\ 361=x^2+y^2 \\ \\ Since \ x=\frac{5y}{4}$

$D^2=361 \\ \\ 361=x^2+y^2 \\ \\ Since \ x=\frac{5y}{4} \\ \\ 361=\left(\frac{5y}{4}\right)^2+y^2 \\ \\ 361=\frac{25y^2}{16}+y^2 \\ \\ \frac{41}{16}y^2=361 \\ \\ y^2=\frac{261\times 16}{41} \\ \\ y=\sqrt{140.87} \\ \\ y=11.869in$

Finding x:

$x=\frac{5(11.869)}{4} \\ \\ x=14.836in$

<em>Finally, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch the Witdth of the monitor is 14.8 inches while the Height of the monitor is 11.9 inches.</em>

in solving the equation for x to distribute a minus 4 on one side of the equation what needs to be done on the other side of the

IrinaVladis [17]

The distributive property is a simplification rule that does not change the value of an expression. Nothing need be done to the other side of the equation.

q = -4(3+x)
q = -4*3 -4*x . . . . . the -4 is distributed. The right side has not changed value.

How would I solve for the parabolic equation with these two given points. Please answer ASAP!!

monitta

So

y=ax^2+bx+c
(x,y)
sub the points and solve

(4.28,6.48)
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)+c

(12.61,15.04)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)+c
well, for 3 variables, we need equations and therefor 3 points

maybe we are supposed to assume it starts at (0,0)
so then
0=a(0)^2+b(0)+c
0=c
so then
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)

solve for a by subsitution
first equation, minut a(4.28)^2 from both sides
6.48-a(4.28)^2=b(4.28)
divide both sides by 4.28
(6.48/4.28)-4.28a=b
sub that for b in other equation

15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+((6.48/4.28)-4.28a)(12.61)
expand
15.04 =a(12.61)^2+(81.7128/4.28)-53.9708a
minus (81.7128/4.28) both sides
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a(12.61)^2-53.9708a
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a((12.61)^2-53.9708)
(15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708))=a
that's the exact value of a
to find b, subsitute to get
(6.48/4.28)-4.28((15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708)))=b

if we aprox
a≈-0.038573167896199
b≈1.6791118501845
so then the equation is
y=-0.038573167896199x²+1.6791118501845x
